Does it matter much? We would only be linking against those, so the only
case where I can see it matter is distributing a GPL v2-only application
together with libamr libraries.
I admit that there might be a bit of a problem if the AMR code could be
unintentionally linked in statically, but otherwise it would only be a
conflict between libamr and some other non-FFmpeg code and only if
distributed together, so does it concern us?
I admit this argument would have applied to the current libamr code,
too...
Of course it would also be possible to ask if the code be dual-licensed
as GPLv2+Apache or not...
